Re: Let's Play! Utena, Round 2: Don't Get in Cars With Strangers

Was I the only one imaging Akio giving D-Ko directions while standing behind her, leaning down over her shoulder, their bodies not quite touching but close enough that D-ko can hear his muscles shifting against the fabric of his shirt, feel his voice tickling the curls of hair above her ears, one long finger tracing the path on the map spread out on her lap, applying just enough pressure for her to feel it though the paper. She wants to nod and affirm that she understands, but fears any movement may cause their cheeks to brush.

Yes. Yes you were.

...And now you're not.

Whoa...

I do not like Akio, but damn, that's exactly what he would do.

Not anymore!

I'd love to hear the voice acting in this section. I mean, purely for, uh, research purposes, of course.

Touga:What kind of a greeting is "what do you want"?Your knight has come to ask you for a dance.

Utena:I guess you're free to ask.

Touga:Well, well.And who's this, then?

Utena:Oh, I'm not going to introduce you to her.If I introduced her to a playboy like you,who knows what would happen.

Touga:Hey, now. I'm the one who sent you an invitation, you know.(Does that not count for anything?)Or are you jealous?

Utena:W... who's jealous!?

Touga:I'm Kiryuu Touga.I'm the president of the Student Council.If you have any problems, by all means come to me with them.Cute girls like yourself are particularly welcome.

D-ko:He called me cute...!...I guess that stuff about him being a playboy is probably true.

CHOICE:Thank him (+1 TOUGA)Refuse the compliment

Of course, thanking Touga for a compliment is the start of a short, steep road that ends with us desperately calling him on his cell phone and getting Nanami instead, who will insult us and hang up.

The one thing to start considering at this point is that, in order to get a character ending, at least one Student Council member has to hit 0% nobility. Now, if we start focusing on someone semi-exclusively, that should end up happening anyway... and if it doesn't we get the "Perfect" ending, which would be fine too... but if we were set on having Touga fall first for some reason, that would be a reason to reject him. Probably about the only reason, really.
